East Georgia College

East Georgia College is a fully-accredited, two-year college of the University System of Georgia. The main campus located in Swainsboro, and its satellite center in Statesboro serves Emanuel, Bulloch, and surrounding counties throughout east central Georgia. Established administratively in 1971 as Emanuel County Junior College, the college hosted its charter class of 167 students in the fall quarter of 1973, albeit in temporary quarters. The main campus would not be ready until the start of the 1974 academic year. The college assumed its current name in 1988, when the Board of Regents mandated that the word "Junior" be removed from the names of its two-year colleges.

Since 2000, the original campus has been expanded significantly. In 2001, the Luck Flanders Gambrell Center opened its doors, housing the college library, main auditorium, classrooms, and executive offices. Mrs. Gambrell donated 190 acres of land in 1971 to establish the initial college campus. In 2003, the Physical Education building was augmented with a state-of-the-art gymnasium, larger fitness center, an art studio, and additional classrooms. The Student Services Center received a large expansion in 2007, adding additional meeting space and administrative offices. The college opened a new entrance road at the intersection of Lambs Bridge Road and East Meadowlake Parkway, christened Madison Dixon Drive, in early 2008 and a new Community Learning Center is currently under construction near the entrance. The center, named for Sudie A. Fulford, a celebrated teacher in the Swainsboro community, will be built according to LEED green building standards and will feature an educational resource center, meeting space for small conferences and the college's continuing education programs, and a great room with a domed ceiling which can be utilized as a planetarium. The college also has intentions to add student housing in the future.
